Introduction to Rough Terrain Forklift Safety, Parts 1-2 Training

It is crucial to be certified in rough terrain forklift operations as these are susceptible to tip-overs, rollovers, and collisions due to narrow aisles, ground obstruction, and slopes. Whether it is a roadway project or a construction site, it's best to ensure that all workers are fully aware of handling the vehicles and equipment and understand the possible hazards at the worksite. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found out that in 2018 there were more than 8000 forklift injuries which has set to increase to 6% since 2017. The forklifts that come in various sizes help transport heavy loads on rough terrain so it's important for workers to stay educated and trained about handling it. Our rough terrain forklift safety program guides you all about it.
